This request would extend the allocation and vested rights to June 19, 1997. The application, including Ordinance #27, Series of 1996, which provided an extension to December 19, 1996 is attached as Exhibit A. Staff recommends approval of a six (6) month extension of the GMQS allocation and the extension of vested rights status with conditions. Conditions #3, 4, and 5 have been added subsequent to First Reading and reflect the input of the City Engineering Department. APPLICANT: Savanah Limited Partnership, represented byJoe Wells. BACKGROUND: Council approved the 1990 GMQS allocation for 7 new townhomes on Lot 6 as part ofthe Aspen Meadows Specially Planned area development, which received final approval in early 1991. The GMQS allocations were due to expire on June 21, 1994. In April 1994, Savanah requested a six month extension on the GMQS and vested rights for Lots 5 and 6, which Council granted. The applicants have since requested and been granted extensions every six months, with the most recent extension set to expire on December 19, 1996, On December 18, 1996, the applicant submitted a request for another extension. City policy has been that if an application for an extension is received before the expiration date of the vested rights, City Council will consider the request as timely filed even though the matter is scheduled for Council consideration after the expiration date. t=-y\.tI ~ \.0 t ~ A ~. ,--, The attached application lays out the factors which have delayed construction of the approved project. Lot 6 was included with Lot 5 in a Notice of Lis Pendens by Mohammed A. Hadid in connection with a lawsuit filed by him against principals of Savanah Limited Partnership in April of 1995. The Lis Pendens has prohibited Savanah from selling, developing, or financing either Lots 5 or 6. On November 15, 1995, the trial court ordered the Lis Pendens removed. Lot 5 was released from the litigation, but Lot 6 is now affected by an appeal to the court's order filed by Mr. Hadid. STAFF COMMENTS: Section 26.100.100 of the Aspen Municipal Code states that a development allotment and all other development approvals shall expire on the day after the third anniversary of the latest date ofproject approval, unless a building permit is obtained and project is developed, or unless an exemption from or extension of the approval is obtained. For developments other than a subdivision, an application for extension shall be submitted prior to the third anniversary of the date of approval of a site specific development plan which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of city council that: (a) Those conditions applied to the project at the time of its final approval which were to have been met as of the date of application for exemption have been complied with; and RESPONSE: All conditions of approval associated with the SPA agreement and subsequent extensions have been completed, with the exception of the excavation of a bikelpedestrian trail. Savanah proposed to excavate this trail at the time of construction of the new townhouse units, which is to be undertaken by June 19, 1997. (b) Any improvements which were required to be installed by the applicant prior to construction of the project have been installed; RESPONSE: All the improvements which were required under the SPA Agreement have been completed. Although construction has not begun for Lots 5 and 6, utilities have been installed and road upgrades are completed. The applicant shall be required to mitigate any construction damage to Aspen Meadows Road and a 1 "to 1.5" overlay is required when the construction is complete. (c) The project has been diligently pursued in all reasonable respects, and the extension is in the best interest of the community. RESPONSE: Staff notes that this is the sixth extension requested by the applicant. It was recommended in February 1996 that no further extensions be granted for reasons beyond unforeseeable legal circumstances specific to the Lis Pendens. Because the Lis Pendens is still under appeal, staff recommends the requested extensions be granted. ,...., .r"\ Joseph Wells Land Planning, Inc. 602 Midland Park Place Aspen, Colorado 81611 PhOne: 970.925.8080 Facsimile: 970.925.8275 December IS, 1996 Mr. Stan Gauson Director of Community Development, Citv of Aspen ..

Exhibit B f"""'. ,..-, Request for Extension from GMQS Expiration Deadlines for the Multi-Family Project Approved for Lot 6, Aspen Meadows Specially Planned Area This application is subrnitted on behalf of Savanah Lirnited Partnership, owner of Lot 6, Aspen Meadows Specially Planned Area. Savanah requests an additional extension of six rnonths in the expiration of the growth rnanagement allocations for the seven rnulti-farnily units approved by the City on Lot 6 (the Tennis Townhornes site) as well as an extension of the vested rights granted by the City for the project approved for this lot. Over the course of the last twenty-four rnonths, Savanah worked closely with the Aspen Institute and with third parties to develop a co-developrnent scenario to better serve the Institute's long-terrn needs for additional housing for its participants. These negotiations previously led to the Aspen Institute's entering into a contract to purchase Lot 5 frorn Savanah. However, in April of 1995, both Lot 5 and Lot 6 were included in a Notice of Lis Pendens recorded by Mohamrnad A. Hadid in connection with a lawsuit filed by him against principals of Savanah Limited Partnership. Savanah vigorously defended against the suit at considerable expense, and on Novernber 15, 1995, the trial court ordered the Lis Pendens removed. Although Mr. Hadid previously released Lot 5 frorn the litigation so that the Institute could proceed with its purchase, Mr. Hadid filed, on or about June 3, 1996, an appeal of the court's order as it affects Lot 6. That appeal is still pending. Savanah has been advised by its legal counsel that under the law, the Lis Pendens remains in place on Lot 6 pending a decision on appeal. The practical effect of the recorded presence of the Lis Pendens is that, through no fault of its own, Savanah is, and for the past 18 rnonths has been, utterly incapable of doing anything with respect to Lot 6 - i.e., either selling, developing or financing the lot. Once Lot 5 was released from the Lis Pendens, the Aspen Institute was able to proceed with its purchase of Lot 5 from Savanah and its purchase closed on or about February 6, 1996. The Institute has been pursuing arnendrnents to the prior approvals in order to proceed with construction work on the Trustee Houses. The 1 ~ ..-" Institute has filed a separate ~tension request for its approvals for Lot 5, in order to perrnit additional time to process their proposed arnendrnents. In addition to the problerns created by the pending litigation, Savanah has entered into a contract to sell Lot 6. The potential purchaser has appeared before the Planning and Zoning Comrnission and the Historic Preservation Cornrnittee to discuss certain changes which the purchaser wishes to make to the project previously approved for Lot 6. Those two Boards agreed to allow these changes to be reviewed under the Insubstantial Arnendrnent procedures of the land use code. The Planning Director has now approved these changes under the Code provisions which apply to Insubstantial Arnendrnents, subject to a final presentation regarding certain design issues to the HPC. A. Background: Under the provisions of Sec. 26.100.100.A, development allotrnents and all other development approvals are deerned to expire on the day after the third anniversary of the project's final developrnent approval, unless a building perrnit is obtained and the project is developed, or unless an extension of the approval is obtained. The approvals for Lot 6 are now scheduled to expire on December 19, 1996 1. In March 1994, Savanah submitted building perrnit applications for the two multi- family projects proposed for Lot 5 and Lot 6 in anticipation of obtaining building perrnits to begin construction of these two projects by the original deadline in June, 1994. However, for scheduling reasons, Savanah hoped to postpone cornmencernent of construction of the seven new townhouse units on Lot 6 until 1 Sec. 6-207(c) of the Code provides that in those matters in which the Council has final approval, that approval shall be by ordinance. A site specific development plan shall be deemed approved on the "effective date" of the approving ordinance. The effective date of Ordinance 14/91, under which the City granted Final SPA Development Plan approval to the Aspen Meadows, was five business days after the date of publication of the ordinance following its approval on June 10; in other words, the effective date of the ordinance was June 20, 1991. Therefore, the GMQS allocations and vested rights for the two multi-family residential projects in the Aspen Meadows SPA were originally due to expire on June 21, 1994. Under Ordinance 22/94, Ordinance 10/95, Ordinance 38/95, Ordinance 6/96, and Ordinance 27/96, City Council previously granted extensions of six months each and the approvals are therefore now due to expire on December 19, 1996. 2 r-- ,-,. the fall of 1994 and then begin construction of the Trustee Houses project on Lot 5 in the fall of 1995. Therefore, Savanah requested and received approval of an extension in the date of expiration of the GMQS allocations and vested rights for these residential projects from June 21, 1994 to December 21, 1994. Subsequent to the granting of the original extension, sorne unforeseen zoning issues arose with regard to these two projects as a result of City zoning staff review of the pending building permit applications. These issues were the subject of two administrative arnendrnents approved by the Planning Office as docurnented in a March 16, 1995 memo. In the rneantirne, pending a resolution of the proposed amendrnents, Savanah was granted a second extension to June 19, 1995. Savanah and the Aspen Institute were granted a third extension to Decernber 19, 1995 after the Aspen Institute entered into the option contract to purchase Lot 5, to allow additional tirne to plan the phasing of construction by the two separate organizations. Savanah and the Aspen Institute were granted a fourth extension to June 19, 1996 because of the recorded Lis Pendens, which effectively prevented the transfer of ownership of either Lot 5 or Lot 6. Finally, after the sale of Lot 5, Savanah was granted a fifth extension, to December 19, 1996 (see Ordinance 27/96, attached) because of the pending appeal by Mr. Hadid. B. Extension of GMQS Expiration Provisions for Lot 6: Under the provisions of Sec. 26.100.100.A.2, rnulti-farnily developrnents shall be eligible for extension of the GMQS expiration provisions. To obtain an extension, an application for extension shall be subrnitted prior to the approval deadline which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of City Council that the following three conditions in bold have been rnet (Savanah's response to these conditions follows each condition): (a) Those conditions applied to the project at the time of its final approval which were to have been met as of the date of application for exemption have been complied with (Sec. 26.100.100.A.2.a). To the best of the applicant's knowledge, all of the conditions which were applied to the Project under the original SPA Agreernent which were Savanah's obligation to fulfill have been satisfied. When City Council granted the latest six 3 r'\ r'\. month extension of the 1990 Residential GMQS allocation to Decernber 19, 1996, the approval was subject to the following additional conditions: 1. The applicant shall excavate the pedestrianlbike trail to the top of the slope on Lot 6, as required in the insubstantial amendment to the Aspen Meadows Lots 5 and 6, to be completed by December 19, 1996. For several reasons, the required excavation work for the trail has not yet been cornpleted. First, it has been Savanah's intent to complete the excavation work for the trail at the sarne tirne as excavation work for the residential units, to avoid the necessity of bringing equipment to the site twice. Secondly, before the trail work can be undertaken, the Institute needs to cornplete the relocation of trees which are located within the trail easernent. Finally, it would be preferable to coordinate the excavation work for the trail with the City's plans for the rernainder of the trail down the hillside. Savanah has not been rnade aware of the City's plans if the City has, in fact, established a final plan for that portion of the trail. The applicant therefore requests that the date for completion of the trail excavation be extended to the expiration date of this extension request, or until June 19, 1997. 2. The six (6) month extension shall begin at the date of expiration of the previous 6 month extension which is December 19, 1996 and expire on June 19, 1996. (Note that while the relevant dates were stated correctly in the introductory paragraph of Section 1 of Ordinance 27/96, the dates shown in this condition are transposed on the signed ordinance. The language should have read "The six (6) month extension shall begin at the date of expiration of the previous 6 rnonth extension which is June 19, 1996 and expire on December 19, 1996".) The applicant is now requesting an additional six-month extension, to June 19,1997. (b) Any improvements that were required to be installed by the applicant prior to construction of the project have been installed (Sec. 26.100.100.A.2.b). All of the irnprovernents which were required to be installed under the SPA Agreernent have now been cornpleted, except the trail segrnent which was the subject of a later Insubstantial Arnendment as discussed above. 4 ~ ~, , (c) The project has been diligently pursued in all reasonable respects, and the extension is in the best interests of the community (Sec. 26.100.100.A.2.c). Despite the fact that actual construction of the new residential units has not begun, Savanah has nonetheless expended well over one rnillion dollars in road construction, installation of utilities and landscaping in anticipation of the residential building program. The Consortium rnernbers have diligently pursued cornpletion of the project while working within the constraints of the fund-raising efforts of the non-profit organizations and the interruptions in construction during a large rnajority of the sumrner building season which were previously agreed to. These were recognized concerns spelled out by the parties to the SPA Agreernent. The project infrastructure is in place and rnost of the new and renovated facilities are now complete. Savanah has diligently pursued a building perrnit for the project which is the subject of this request and has worked closely with City staff to resolve unforeseen zoning issues. The applicant has been unable to proceed with the project because of the pending litigation. Savanah believes that the additional extension is clearly in the best interests of the community. In surnmary, Savanah is requesting an extension of the GMQS expiration provisions for the allocations granted to the seven townhouse units on Lot 6 as well as vested rights for the project for a period not to exceed six additional months. This extension is requested in order to allow Savanah additional time to resolve the pending litigation and to cornplete the rernaining HPC review of design changes to the prior approvals. 5 SENT BY:SAVANAH ~TD PARTNER ;12-12-96 1:06P~: , r-,. 30~543e7'" 3102292929:# 3 SAVANAH LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 444 Washington Blvd. Marina del Rey, California 90292 (310) 821.9899 Phone (310) 821-7188 Fax December 12, 1996 Mr. Stan Clauson Director of Community Development, City of Aspen 130 S.

Existing Site Conditions - Since the proposed development lies within an existing subdivision, was previously approved and consists of the build-out of the approved plans, there are no apparent impacts or changes in the present site conditions, exterior uses of the property nor drainage requirements for the property. 2. Incomplete Requirements - To date it appears that there are two conditions of the previous approvals affecting this Lot 6 that have not been fulfilled. a. The City Engineering Department has not received recorded as-built easements for the sewer line through Lot 6. While the original easements were dedicated with the plat in January, 1992, the dedication certificate (paragraph 4) on that plats states that the descriptions of the "as-built" utility easements would subsequently be recorded upon the completion of construction of the utilities. These must be received prior to issuance of a building permit and shown on the site improvement survey in order to confirm that construction is not proposed within the easement. Similarly, the City Water Department has not received as-built easements and as-built drawings of the water system for the Aspen Meadows Subdivision. These must be recorded and received prior to issuance of additional building permits in the subdivision. b. Prior to receiving a building permit for the proposed construction, the applicant is required to post with the City financial assurances acceptable to the City Attorney and City Engineer for the work on and around this lot. This requirement becomes effective upon application for the building permit for this lot. E~\", \ l.\~ C " ~ .~ Memo - Aspen Meadows Extension 01 vested Rights (Lot 5) 3. Other Approving A.gencies - At the time that this development was approved, the City Public Works Director oversaw and coordinated the several operating departments which provide services to or have improvements in this development. Since this position has since been eliminated and the responsibilities divided between the several departments which were formerly under the umbrella of Public Works, it would be appropriate to confirm with each affected department that the respective concerns, requirements and conditions for which it is now responsible, with respect to this development, specifically this lot, have been adequately addressed or that there is a mechanism for doing so. The former Public Works Director also assisted in coordinating with the private utility providers outside of the City of Aspen, (e.g. ACSD, KNE Energy, Holycross Electric Association, etc.) which may also have specific requirements and obligations with this development which need to be fulfilled or verified. A.s such, it would be appropriate to also contact these utilities.
